Try and do that on Thursday even though that was a request. It's not a realistic. It's not realistic at all. And it would cause us more. Sherrod, go ahead please with your comment.

Washington state law and Robert's Rules of Order are very clear on the role of the mayor as council facilitator. and the role in maintaining order and decorum.

There's different ways of doing this. The one I've done before is basically starting with the section and then just working our way down and going from there if that's okay with everybody. So and obviously I also will say that Charlie and Brandi have reviewed this also and so you know if they please feel free…”
